After habitat loss, exotic species are considered the greatest threat to biodiversity. However, some studies show that exotic species have minimal effects on biodiversity at large spatial scales. Here, we ask whether there is a fundamental difference between the reason exotic and native species are common. To control for evolutionary history, we select species from five plant families: one common native and one established exotic species from each, all common in Missouri. We experimentally manipulate the presence of competition and herbivory on these species to evaluate hypotheses implicating competitive ability and lack of herbivory in the success of exotic species. Besides control, each species experiences competitor removal, in which we ...
